The Hieromartyr Irenaeus, Bishop of Sirmium (Srem).

Commemorated March 26 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion

From the Prologue

It is thought that he was a Slav, and was married and had children before
becoming a bishop. He suffered for Christ in the time of Maximian, under Probus,
the governor. His kinsmen stood around him during his frightful sufferings,
beseeching him with tears to spare himself and them; in other words, to renounce
Christ. But this glorious hieromartyr preferred the wounds he received for Christ
to all the good things of this world. A certain gardener in Sirmium, Seven, also
suffered at this time under Probus, also one Afrius in Regia. Since Irenaeus
would not renounce his faith, Probus commanded that he be thrown from a bridge
into the river Sava, where this pastor of Christ's flock died and took his place
among the citizens of heaven. He suffered with honour in 304.
